The following is a summary report of the conditions experienced while living as a stranger on your earth. Our immediately concerns are for the health and welfare of the members of Your household who are currently living here, and of the terrible living condition the future Bride of Your Son Jesus has been force to live under while remaining here under her father's care. We wish to inform You, Father that the enemy has created a great level of confusion here and Your people are besieged on every side with elaborate lies and deceit.
Below we have listed a few of the concerns we have observed in regard to the household of the Bride and the practices of her immediate family.
Over the last 2000 years a false truth, which your Most Holy Spirit indicated would come, has become visible in these last days. This falseness challenges the established truth as has been recorded within the scriptures You provided as a blessing to all of mankind.
It is in those scriptures that You state categorically that You created the Earth and all of the physical universe within 6 days, and that to commemorate this event that You rested on the seventh day and declared it to be a special day which You then give to mankind as a gift so that they could also rest as You did and be reminded of Your love for them for all time.
However the falseness refutes the biblical claim of creation, stating instead that the Earth formed out of the remnant of a 'Big Bang' and that the process occurred over a period of millions, even billions of years. The sad fact is that many of the so called educated intelligentsia are more quickly ready to call You a liar than to challenge the foolishness of a theory which claims that out of nothing something occurred. Isn't it strange that when You told them (mankind) that You could create from nothing they claimed it was impossible, but now they are willing to believe that from nothing everything came into being without your involvement.
You are as always proved correct when You say that the wisdom of the world is foolishness.
However my concern is not with the imaginations of mankind, but rather the agreement the family of the Bride has made with the falseness that has allowed this deception to take root. As we previous highlighted, You give a memorial of the creation that was established as a gift to mankind for all time but the Bride's natural family (in their wisdom) choice to disassociate themselves from that day of rest. Historically we know the reasons as to why the early church fathers chose to change from the established Sabbath to the first day of the week - it was to reduce the persecution the church was experiencing - due to being linked with the Jews who were under equal persecution at that time. They felt that the suffering of that time period was too much for them to bear and they chose to separate themselves from their spiritual root, and is doing so they quickly forgot that the scriptures say that we are to suffer because we belong to Christ, as he also suffered so we also suffer.
Now concerning the legitimism of the change of the rest day from Sabbath to Sunday, we understand, Father, that the Holy Spirit permits the Church to worship You on whichever day it so wishes, but we am unable to understand why the early Church became persuaded that it had the right to change the day of rest, which You established from creation, as a witness of Your sovereignty over the whole of creation. As there is no support in scripture to authorise this change of the day of rest it has become necessary therefore to challenge this decision with regard to the members of the Bride who are currently accepting of this abuse of authority. Father You promised within scriptures to restore the fullness of Your truth prior to the return of Your Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, so that the Bride could be presented to Him without spot or wrinkle. Allow therefore for Your adopted daughter (The Bride) to receive the truth concerning you Sabbath and to be willing to keep the fullness of the commandments in love of her future husband Jesus Christ.
Father we understand that the family of the Bride have swallowed whole the change of the rest day and will continue to attempt to impose it on the Bride, so we ask that You provide Your adoptive daughter with the strength to withstand the persecution that obedience to You will bring upon her. The enemies of the Bride will say that obedience to You with regard to Sabbath is sinful and legalistic but You will judge the motives of the heart and declare innocence those who show their love of Jesus by being obedience to Him.
Father there is an even greater concern here on earth. The Bride's family have accepted the teaching of the many religions around them that teach that mankind do not really die but instead, at the moment of death, their true spiritual selves are release from the restraints of their physical bodies and either go to a reward in Heaven or are assigned by Your angels to an ever burning furnace called Hell. Father this falseness is epidemic throughout the Bride's family and all of her sisters are expounding this lie, which was first told to Eve in the Garden of Eden by Satan when he was disguised as a serpent. This lie makes them forget that the wages of sin is death, and they chose to believe instead that they will 'not surely die' but that You will punish them for their sins for all of eternity (an ongoing punishment which they will be aware of), instead of what You clearly tell them in scripture, that the punishment of sin is that they the will be dead for all of eternity (Unaware non-existence).
Father not only are they not willing to believe You when You say that the wages of sin is death, but they are unable to understand the true nature of sin. The scriptures stated clearly that sin is the breaking or disregarding of Your Law. It is the reflection of the enemy, Satan who is the adversary, the lawless one, the King of rebellion against the Most High. It is when mankind aligns himself with Satan against God that he commits sin, as he then disregards the instruction God provided to mankind so that he would reflect the true character of God in whose image mankind was made. You remind mankind within the scriptures that at death all his personal memories and ambitions die with him.
Within the New Testimony scriptures we see the fulfilment of this promised hope. Through Your Son Jesus Christ this hope has been realised and we while still born spiritually dead, in the flesh, are now able to be born again with a new life restored in us when we place our Trust in Jesus. The mystery of the new birth is that we receive the Living Spirit of Jesus Christ, which was made available to us on the Cross, and that Jesus accepts from us the horror of our death separated from God, the death we inherited from Adam in addition to the fullness of the wages each and everyone of us have incurred for our own transgression against You Father.
